The youth of today

if it ain't prog.... it could be worse.  I love the Allman Brothers.

Being a musical outcast in the youth of today, I can say this- in school, study halls are hard.

Kids can't even make up there mind on what music they like anymore. True music lovers hate MTV, there aren't many true music lovers, but the ones that are have made everyone hate MTV. But the problem is, everyone just says they hate MTV, but since they no nothing about music they like whats catchy.

Like this one really annoying kid listened too Amazing Grace, then goes and listens too Eminem. He finish's his HW, and goes sits with some of his friends, and listens too Green day. Then he walks over too me, and tries explaining that he likes Yes.

My GF loves Emo bands and hates prog. But Don't Worry, I'll get her.

My IPod broke, and the girl who sits next to me, for an hour and a half plays "Seasons of Love" from Rent on repeat. So thats all I hear.

However, when I did have my IPod, war between me and her broke out. No matter how quiet she turned her headphones, I could hear her music. I'll tell you,  "Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes!" Get's annoying fast.  So insted of showing her the great side of prog, I decide too play a more heavy song too have the largest contrast in the music at our table. Once I was listening too "The Creator has a Mastertape" off of Porcupine Tree's In absentia, at full volume. Was this enough? No! Outbreaks some Modanna hit. Well, what do I have too counter that? Oh, plenty. But it's a dance song, right? So how about something too dance too? Oh, well, thats easy, but Prog dance? Now THAT is difficult. BAM! Outpoors the Collection of Great Dance Songs, the Pink Floyd compilation. So what do I play? What else? One of these days. So now this girl gets the impression I only like darker music, so she puts on My Chemical Romance too show me "Good" heavy music. So, in order too keep the contrast I decide too play "The Colony of Slippermen" off of "The Lamb Lies Down on broadway." This sort of war rages every study hall. (She particularly hates Cyngus... Vismund Cyngus off of The Mar's Volta's latest album Frances the mute.)  I'm hated for liking the music I do, but they'll all see one day. They'll all see things my way.

Let's just leave it at that, shall we?

I'm not alone then!!
